Anti Roll Bar
After removal of spacer lift and installed Terrafirma + 2 big bore shocks and springs I did not remove the l extension on the Anti roll bar bracket.
I have also installed a spacer because on full travel the prop shaft touched the anti roll bar.
On stock Disco's I saw it is mounted directly on the chassis.
Any suggestions please.....
Should I make it shorter?
Should I take it totally back to the chassis?
Should I cut it half way back?
Will it affect the pinion angle?

I pulled both of mine and haven't looked back.

Huh, really? I'm kind of surprised. Any chance they're not high end joints or something? Perhaps I should just KISS and not get to out there with this stuff. I am pretty tempted to fabricate my own suspension arms and tie rod centers...the aftermarket stuff is nice looking but pretty pricey.

For trailing arms johnny joints are the way to go. They will allow movement like a hiem but have a much longer lifespan

What Ian said. And honestly, if you plan on offroading upgrading your steering rods now is the best way to go about it I think. You're in MI so I bet you'll have fun getting the old TRE's out of the stock rods.
If you do try to salvage the old rods heat, PB, and pipe wrenches as you mentioned.

Yeah, I guess I was thinking more of the JJ's vs real heims. Depends on what will work in which location.
